Jason Campbell will stay on as the No. 1 quarterback, but Travis Benjamin is out for the season.

Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski confirmed the obvious today, saying Campbell will make his second straight start at quarterback after a strong showing at Kansas City, albeit in a 23-17 loss.

Benjamin, who has been a good spot-situation weapon on offense and a dynamic returner, will undergo surgery to repair a torn ACL, Chudzinski said.

Benjamin was hurt after making two spin moves on a punt return. He is the fastest man on the team, and he has scored on a 79-yard punt return and brought back a kickoff 86 yards this year.

Chudzinski stuck up for Davone Bess, who made a critical punt-return fumble as Benjamin's replacement late in the game. He said Bess and cornerback Joe Haden will be considered for punt-returning duties Sunday against Baltimore.

Campbell led the Browns back into the game after they trailed 13-0.

"Jason played very well," Chudzinski said. "He was able to manage the game, escape and get out of trouble, and make decisions. We were real pleased.

It was Campbell's first start this year and just his second start since he was injured in a 2011 game against the Browns.

"He's a pro's pro," Chudzinski said. "There are some things he could do better. I have faith he'll make corrections."

Both Brian Hoyer and now Campbell have been more effective at quarterback than Brandon Weeden.

Asked today why Weeden won the job in the preseason, Chudzinski said, "We wanted to find out more. He showed well and did well in the practices and the preseason. The production hasn't been there in the regular season."
